Djed Spence scores 'ridiculous' 30-yard screamer to level for Nottingham Forest against QPR

Djed Spence has scored an unbelievable 30-yard screamer for Nottingham Forest to level the score against QPR.

Forest had been behind after Andre Gray gave the visitors the lead five minutes before half-time, but the hosts have dominated the action at the start of the second half. Having had plenty of chances to shoot on-goal, it was Djed Spence's incredible strike from 25-yards or further that eventually broke the deadlock.

Receiving the ball from Philip Zinckernagel, on-loan wing-back Spence took one touch to set himself before responding to the optimistic calls of 'shoot' from the City Ground crowd before striking into the top-right corner well out of reach of David Marshall in the QPR goal.

Forest completed the turn around with eight minutes left on the clock when Ryan Yates headed home a deep cross into the Trent End; Brennan Johnson then doubled the hosts' lead with a brilliant volley with four minutes left to give Steve Cooper's side a huge lift in their push for the Championship play-offs.
